Abyss Viper is like Dr. Zoidberg's evil counterpart.

Thanks! Definitely was worth the effort to get these guys into my collection!

Wow—I’ve been missing out! Love your monsters, especially Bio and Monstro! Not sure about the pipe cleaners, but it’s proof positive you’re thinking outside the box, and I can appreciate that. I’ve been too undecided on how to tackle these guys, myself. Keep inspiring us!
Haha, anyone in a purple Viper getup need to get out now! Haha, thanks! Appreciate it! Loving them all group up. Quote:
Haha, was thinking that the second I started adding paint to him. Like if everyone went wrong for Zoidberg, he’d be running errands for Mindbender.

Out of all the team members, Cyber-Viper was the one who I was not sure could be done. Between the unique build and head, he was the one who I had the most trouble with, also why he was shown last. Haha. Just sealed his paint before I went to bed last night.
He was another figure I loved growing. Had such a unique look and the cyborg aspect definitely made him fit in with a ton of movies I was watching in the 90’s. Then the random colors all thrown together that just worked....he was a great addition to Cobra’s response to the Mega Marines! This one was a mix of Marauder & leftover Boss Fight parts (which is why his bare arm is on the wrong side, just what I had left over). Marauder vest, head & accessories, Boss Fight body parts and a full paint job on them all. Like Mega-Viper, Cyber had a very unique head so after a lot of trial and error, I finally ended up with a solution I thought really worked for Cyber. Cyber-Viper

Such a fun group to put together and like a lot of the things I do, a group that I NEVER would have expected to have when 25th started all those years ago. Really assumed 25th would just be the main Sunbow stuff that I missed out on growing up so the fact that I’m finishing out the ARAH run that was out while I was buying Joes as a kid is really cool.
Cobra Mega Marines / Mega Monsters Now some full team shots: And with the original Monsters tagging along:

Man, you've made the Cyber-Viper look pretty cool! I've been thinking about how I want to update him (something like the Deviant pilot, but more of a techie), but this looks good with the rest of the Mega Monsters crew. The armor vests on him and the Mega-Viper create a nice sense of comraderie, too.
Did you hollow out the breather head and put it on top of another, or just scratch away at the lower half and paint it different colors? Edit: Nvm, I gave it a closer look and realized the paint's just so clean it looks like two separate parts, and that the breather head does have those lines on the lower half naturally. Even more kudos! Last edited by GarterSnake788; 08-08-2020 at 05:07 PM.. |

This may not be a cheap alternative, but about using the 50th Zombie extended arms in place of the pipe cleaners for tentacles?

Every single one of these Mega Marines customs are just the best! I wouldn't have even known where to begin with a Cyber Viper custom, but you nailed it!

Strong from start to finish on this project, H&R! Each one was a treat to view, and they are all great re-imaginings of the original figures, improving on them! Keep up the great work!
